In his usual bluster, Limbaugh went to task in proclaiming that should the Republican Party fail to beat Obama this election year, it will be an end to the party itself and even worse, another economic collapse if the President wins in his re-election bid.

You can hear it for yourself here:

Limbaugh came out that the GOP is not right-enough, that a new, third-party will rise up and embrace right-wing politics, abandoning the Republican party. And he may be right, as polling is indicating that a large part of the Republican base has indeed begun looking elsewhere for their party affiliation. Since polling agencies such as CNN/Gallup and Rasmussen began including 3rd party candidates such as Gary Johnson, Virgil Goode and Jill Stein, Romney’s polling numbers have plummeted.

Limbaugh, of course, considers this attack on the fundamental institutions of government as a good idea. He finds himself joined in this by religious zealots and Dominionists, who seek to turn the United States into a theocratic state. That the Republican leadership is trying to save itself from losing its tenuous grip on functionality demonstrates that perhaps there is sanity remaining somewhere deep within the halls of the GOP. If they did win this election, the party would find itself consumed by the very monster it had courted.
